Surprised no one mentioned the Batman Arkham games or Tomb Raider reboot trilogy (2013-2018). Both are third person action games with simple, but enjoyable upgrade elements.

Arkham Asylum may feel a bit dated, but Arkham City and Knight should still feel pretty fresh. And I think the Tomb Raider games hold up well.

I also suspect you’ve played them, but the Uncharted series is also great.

Other mentions that fit the third person, decent-good story, and fast/fun action:

• Sunset Overdrive
• Hi-fi Rush (rhythm game)
• Bayonetta Series (DMC like series)
• Nier series
• Kena Bridge of Spirits
• Just Cause Series (I think the stories are a little weak for this series, more about sandbox play).
• Infamous series (superhero themed 3rd person action game made by the same people who made Spiderman)

The US was actually recovering better than most countries from covid, we had some issue with inflation, but overall a really healthy looking economy. If you look at the charts unemployment, inflation, wage growth, etc. all have a turning point around the time Trump took over (for the worse).

Was everything going to be peachy if Harris was elected, no. However, Trump is actively making things worse.
